Abstract:

OBJECTIVE - To assess the magnitude and the spatial and temporal trend of cancer in children and adolescents and its association with the agricultural irrigation poles in the Ceará State2000 to 2012. METHODS – This is research ecological design related to morbidity and mortality indicators in the Ceará State2000 to 2012. The study population was made up of children and adolescents aged0 to 19 years diagnosed with cancer.
